Chapter 1361: Decisive

Zhulan thought carefully about the name of Jiang Ming's eldest daughter. She had a good memory and finally remembered that her name was Jiang Muting.

Qingxue asked, "Do you want to meet him?"

Zhulan didn't want to see him. No one would say anything if she didn't see him. She used to be more considerate, but now she was unwilling to be more casual. She waved her hand and said, "I'm tired."

Qingxue nodded and went out to talk to the servant. Qingxue waited until the servant ran away and then shook her head. She was speechless because he came to visit suddenly without any invitation in advance. He just came so suddenly. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider.

Now, apart from the old lady's family and a few friends, everyone who wants to see the old lady has to send an invitation in advance.

Jiang Muting was stunned when she heard the butler's reply. She went to pay her respects with confidence, but in the end she was not even allowed to enter the door. She saw that the butler's message was very clear to her, the old lady really didn't want to see her.

What tiredness? That's just an excuse. It's the best excuse for not wanting to see anyone.

Jiang Muting endured the cold wind, took another look at the plaque on the gate of the mansion, and finally left unwillingly.

Jiang Mufan saw his step-sister's carriage halfway when he was chasing after her and heaved a sigh of relief. His step-sister had secretly visited the Zhou residence while he was out. The Zhou family had never had a good impression of his step-sister, so the face they had to give was to save face for his parents.

Even when his parents come to visit, they won't just rush in, they will still write visiting cards in advance. He really doesn't understand where his step-sister gets the confidence that the Zhou family will pay attention to her. How thick does she have to be to be so confident?

Jiang Muting was embarrassed when she saw her brother, but she managed to hold it in. "Alas, the old lady was tired and didn't see him. What a pity."

Jiang Mufan pursed his lips, "You don't like me and my sister, and you have been scheming all these years. We never ask for your help, and we don't ask you for anything. We just ask you to save some face for us, right?"

The Jiang family doesn’t care now, but what about after a long time?

Everyone gets bored sometimes.

Jiang Muting's face fell, "I can save your face, as long as you promise to help me, I will leave immediately."

Do you really think she is willing to hold them in high esteem? God knows how much jealousy she suffers every day. She doesn't like Jiang Mulan, who should have fallen into despair, but she married into the Jiang family and turned things around in one leap.

How did Jiang Mulan gain the love of her husband and the favor of her mother-in-law? She was an experienced person and could tell at a glance whether a woman was happy or not. She knew how Jiang Mulan lived and how she lived the same life.

After her father lost power, her life became difficult. It was her ability that allowed her to remain stable. Jiang Mulan did not agree to the marriage she arranged, which caused her to lose her housekeeper Quan and also offended people.

Jiang Mufan could see clearly that his elder sister was full of resentment, and he sneered, "Since you are unwilling to show us mercy, I am not afraid of a falling out and move out of my house."

Having said that, Jiang Mufan turned around and left. It is not easy to satisfy people's hearts. This time he was threatened, and he and his sister agreed. There will be endless troubles in the future.

Jiang Muting confirmed that she had heard correctly and shouted, "Aren't you afraid that the Jiang family will know that you are ruthless?"

Jiang Mufan waved his hands, not afraid. If he didn't make a decision, the Jiang family would not feel at ease marrying off their daughter. Now that he had said it, he felt particularly relieved.

The next day, Zhulan heard about the Jiang family from her daughter, "Mu Fan chased the people away?"

Xuemei chewed an apple and said, "Well, Jiang Muting is still unwilling to come to find me. If she didn't have some dignity, she might have made a scene at our doorstep."

Zhulan, "You are becoming more and more casual in your eating habits."

Xuemei took another bite and said, "It's more comfortable to eat like this. I used to eat it in pieces but it wasn't satisfying."

Zhulan thought to herself, you didn't say that before. The Zhou family changed quickly back then. The daughter-in-law didn't want to bring shame to the Zhou family when she came to Beijing, so she kept learning etiquette. But now it seems that the government still restricted the daughter-in-law. After she went out, she became more and more casual.

Zhu Lan smiled and said, "You just have a good attitude. It's good that you get younger and younger as you grow older."

Xuemei touched her face and said, "Mom, you're right, I haven't changed much in the past two years."

Zhulan agreed with the young lady. Although her skin was a little darker than in the capital, the young lady walked a lot and was in good shape. She maintained a good figure and her eyes were bright. She really hadn't changed much.

Zhu Lan said, "The twins are not young anymore. They have been following you everywhere for many years. Now Jiang Du is getting married and Jiang Miao is also getting married. Do you still want to take them everywhere with you?"

Xuemei, "Mom, these two kids have been thinking about going abroad. If you don't mention it, they will tell Dad after the New Year."

Zhulan smiled and said, "I was wondering why these two kids always go to pick up Changyi from the government office."

Xuemei also laughed, "In their hearts, Second Uncle is the person they admire the most."

From being a commoner with nothing to being a fifth-rank official and still holding power in the Ministry of Rites, the person the twins talk about the most is their second uncle.

Zhulan was amused, "Changyi's set is indeed suitable for both of them."

Moreover, these two children really look alike. They looked very similar when they were young. One would think that they would be somewhat different when they grew up. But it turns out that the two children are almost the same height, which makes them even more alike. If you are not familiar with them, you can't tell them apart at all.

As a grandmother, Zhulan has to take some time to tell the twins apart when they like to pretend to be each other. These two children are so annoying. Every time they come back from going out, they make the family guess who they are.

Here we are talking about twins, Ministry of Rites. It is the first time that Changyi brings the twins to the Ministry of Rites. Although the twins like to come to the Ministry of Rites to pick him up, not many people see the twins.

Lord Liu has never seen one before. "I have seen twins before, but this is the first time I have seen twins that look so alike."

As he spoke, he circled around the twins twice, marveling at them.

Chang Yi, "Don't say it's your first time seeing this, it's the same for me."

Lord Liu put his hands behind his back and said, "If one wants to do something bad, he can just let the other pretend to be him. If he really wants to cheat people, he can definitely cheat a lot of people."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may not think so.

The twins love to play each other. Their family members just feel bad for having two kids, but mostly they just enjoy watching them.

But now Changyi no longer thought so. He turned his head and looked carefully at his two nephews, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

This kind of look made the brave twins tremble. Why did their second uncle look at them like that?

Chang Yi said to Master Liu cheerfully, "I'll treat you to tea later."

Lord Liu's eyes lit up a little, but he held back and said, "I'll still treat you to tea. This time I brought tribute tea."

Chang Yi's smile disappeared instantly, and he looked at Master Liu coldly, "No need to talk about marriage."

After Lord Liu mentioned it last time, out of curiosity, he asked someone to check it out. It turned out that Lord Liu did not lie. His second son really looked like Lord Liu, and was even better than his father. Bah, he must be crazy to choose such a son-in-law.

The twins stared in amazement at their uncle's change of expression, but Lord Liu was not angry at all, and was cheerful, "You don't understand my son, really, my son is very good."

Chang Yi, "Haha."
